Zane walked through bushes and streams until he came upon an old logboat, it was blocking the current and the dead bodies that he threw into the stream were there.

"Come on. Even in death these poor beasts cannot have peace. I'll have to move this boat, wonder whos it was?"

''With that he got into the stream, put his spear under the boat and heaved. ''

"Ummph! Hey you big oaf! Stop with the rockin' and rollin'! I am trying to sleep!"

''With that a stunted shrew come out of the boat and started to kick Zane. Zane grabbed the shrew and said, "Stop you fool! Don't you see the bodies? i am trying to move this boat so they can drift to sea."''

"Oh sorry mate. Here I'll help ya move tit."

They finished the job, sat on the bank, the shrew took out some vittles and asked, "So what are you doin' here?"

"I am following a vermin pack. Have you seen any? The boss was a stoat.'

"Yeah I saw them. They were the ones who broke my ship. They were headed to a bigger camp of vermin. Probaly going to try to get Redwall."

"Redwall? Ah I have heard of that place before. Hey why are you talking so nice and proper?"

"Well I was born right. But then the water called me. So I am a trader by trades. And why aren't you all big and mean. I thought all vermin were bad and evil."

"Well most, but not all. You know, we've been talking and I do not know your name. Mine is Zane."

"Well nice to meet you Zane. I am Toffet. I know these waters like the back of my hand, and if you need a ride then I'll be happy to provide one."

''With that they shook paws and devoured Toffet's vittles and beer. Both thinking that they found a friend.''
